By George Matthew Adams

I never worry about what is going to become of me after my work here on this earth is ended. I know that I make a lot of mistakes and I know that I try to do a lot of good. But my theory is that Heaven is here and now.

In fact, I like the way Jesus put it. One day He was on His way to Jerusalem and someone asked Him what the Kingdom of God was like. And, without hesitating, He replied that it was like a grain of mustard seed which a man planted and which soon grew into a tree, where birds came to lodge and rest. In other words, the Kingdom of Heaven is what you make of yourself — for the good of the world.

And to every man and woman who does but this, there is an immortality both sure and secure. Good travels a great deal faster than evil — regardless of the sneer of cynics.

There are Kingdoms of Heaven in newspaper offices, in stores, in factories, in out-of-the-way places — wherever the heart stations itself in determination to do something that shall help some one.

Every man and woman is a God-affair. Were it not so, every mystery of great achievement, every work of lasting worth, every new knowledge of advancement would be like so much loss and disaster.

The Kingdom of Heaven is — around!
